You can contact straight talk for your unlock code...sometimes its not those numbers...or 1. The last four digits of your Social Security number. or 2. The last four digits of your phone number. 3. According to Straight Talk Customer Service, four straight digits sometimes work, such as 0000, or 1111.

Someone said: on my shg-a927 samsung it was the last four digits of my number and unlocked it, also if that don't work call the carrier of the phone you got it from and they can give you apn unlock with no prob!! at

sillydumbasspeople said: denise.mccullers.5 ... You might not understand the difference between CDMA and GSM.. My Samsung SCH-R355C is CDMA, no sim, my ZTE Merit has a sim.. google the frequence differences between the CDMA and GSM, and then you will understand the difference between ATT, Verizon, T-Mobil and Sprint..

mindinspired said: Some Sprint and Verizon phones are worldphones, such as the Sprint Photon. In that case they run both CDMA and GSM. Seems like there is some confusion here regarding the use of phones that come from CDMA providers on GSM networks with a SIM. Most Sprint phones do not have GSM capability, but worldphones do.

dbrandt said: Ok, I am a helen keller of technology, so bear with me please. My husband was currently laid off and I am out of contract with sprint. I would like to continue having a phone but don't want to pay as much for a 2 year contract. I have read on here, that there are ways to use my Evo from sprint on straight talk. I have no clue what some of these topics pertain to, so if someone could help me figure this out, I would appreciate it. I have an Evo, would like to go to straight talk.
If I can't use my evo, could I purchase a verizon phone off of ebay and activiate it on straight talk? Please help this helen keller! :)

Someone said: you can search for straight talk prepaid phones on ebay instead of verizon. as far as ur evo goes u can call straighttalk at 877-430-2355 and ask them; if evo has a SIM card in it under the battery now and u dont owe sprint money on ur plan then u should be able to use it on straighttalk

Someone said: Go to XDA developers site for more info. Using Sprint or Verizon for Straight Talk means having a world phone and being able to unlock GSM. If you're uncomfortable modifying your phone, you're better off trading it out for an at&t, T-Mobile, or already unlocked GSM phone. Then you just need to put the straight talk similar card in to use it.

It may not be unlocked. Does it ask for the unlock code when you put the sim card in? If so, you`ll need to call at&t to get the unlock code. Just explain that you bought it online with the impression that it was unlocked.

Backs up entire phone, apps,contact, call log,SMS convos. All of it to sd card. Then in this situation you can just put sd card in new phone download super back up on new phone and restore everything to new phone.

itmatterw2 said: Yes verizon phones r compatible with straight talk u can actually check imei or imeid numbers of other carriers phojes to make sure they will work.with straight talk and given if ur in the same area as when u orginally activated straight talk it shld work.off the towers there however it maynot give signal off other networks towers but keep in mind if tracfones work then irs shld in as well since tje phone its self is a product of tracfone all phones have hidden menus in them that carriers dont want us to know about and in the hidden menus lots of things can be changed to unlock different areas of ur phone and done with put rooting iti
